'The Giving Tree' - A 2024/25 Photographic Project

Mal's Blog Post

2024/2025

for all the whats wheres and whys etc etc


has been widely cultivated as a ... street tree in the temperate regions of Australia.

I love its deep maroon-coloured leaves. It hasn't fruited at all, perhaps as it is still too young?
(NB. I found out what type of tree it was using this App).

I water it most summer days (twice or more at a time), hobbling across with my walking stick and trusty 9-litre/2.3 gal blue plastic watering can!
"I'm the crazy old man who talks to the tree!" ๐Ÿคฃ

I'll be using this camera this year. ๐Ÿ“ท
The title reference is to the book, "The Giving Tree" ๐ŸŒณ
